Before & After Photos

Vicky and David R.'s existing windows were rotting out and they wanted new ones installed so no draft would get into the basement. They had previous work done by American Waterworks before so they worked with our company again. Our crew replaced their windows with our EverLast Replacement Windows and our WellDuct Window Drains. Our EverLast Windows are vinyl-framed, double-paneled, and energy-efficient. Our WellDuct Drain catches water seepage from guides it into the interior drainage system, which guides water out of the basement. Vicky and David were thrilled with the work and had another wonderful experience!

Previous windows in a homeowner's house were leaking water underneath their pre-existing Window Sunhouse, which is a dome protectant that prevents debris from invading the window. Our team at American Waterworks installed our Window Well Duct that collects any water that makes its way into the Sunhouse. In this scenario, our WellDuct Drain is connected to the homeowner's pre-existing waterproofing system which leads to the sump pump system to guide water out of the home. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and was grateful to no longer have water seeping in through their basement window. 

Homeowners in Albert Lea, MN had metal window wells that were allowing water to leak into their basement. This became a serious problem and they wanted new window wells installed before winter. Our team at American Waterworks installed new SunHouses, which are sealed to the foundation. Our team also installed Window WellDucts in the interior of the home to collect any water that may get into the window wells. The homeowners were very happy with the work and they liked the new view from the exterior of their home!

Justin from Baldwin, WI, had discovered water under his home's laminate flooring in the basement. They had ripped out the flooring and some of the wall to find three cracks in the foundation that had been repaired at some point, but were now letting water in. He wanted to discuss some foundation repair solutions with our team, so he called for a FREE estimate to understand our possible solutions. Our Design Specialist, Mac, traveled to her home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendation for a plan to transform Justin's basement into a healthy, clean space. He recommended the customer invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. 

Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew, headed out and started making Justin's home a drier, safer place to live. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

They then went to work installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in. Justin was grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting his home! Are you having water problems in your basement? Click HERE to learn more about our WaterGuard System! 

Kelle, a homeowner in Baldwin, WI was concerned because her basement had flooded a few times, and she wanted to prevent it from happening again. She contacted us for a FREE estimate to understand our possible solutions. Our Service Technician, Rasean,  traveled to her home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space. 

With the decision made to install a discharge line in the basement, Foreman Lane and his team went out to the property and got to work. The goal was to direct water away from the foundation of the home so that it would not leak back into the basement. By adding a 30 foot discharge line from the south end of the home into the yard, water gets properly relocated. The team also implemented our LawnScape Outlet, which is a pipe buried from the downspout that lets water outside onto the surface of the lawn while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning, minimizing maintenance for your home. Furthermore, American Waterworks can help prevent wintertime freeze-up of discharge lines. We installed the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. At the end of the project, Kelle was grateful for the work and glad her peace of mind was restored!
